A curved rest 8, securely attached to the bottom of the said case I, as shownin Figure 1 and Figure '6, is provided for retaining the bristles of the shaving brush in normally rounded condition.

An elongated, rectangular rack It, occupying a part of the space within the said case I, is provided to accommodate toilet accessories as illustrated in Figure 2. The said rack III is hinged to the rear wall of the said case I, as at II of Figure 6, so as to permit the free end of the said rack to be swung upwardly and out of said case I, thus facilitating a ready access to the shaving brush it which is normally carried on the bottom of the said case I, directly underneath, parallel to, and within the confines of the said rack It.

The said rack I0 is comprised of side walls I2 and I3, a rear wall I4, and a front wall IS, including an intermediate cross bar It, and the transverse partitions I1 and I8, which, together with the slightly arched bottom wall I9, form within the said rack I0 equally partitioned pockets 20, 24, and 21. The purpose of the said pockets will presently be made clear.

drawn separately to illustrate the constructional features thereof,

Figure 6 is a sectionalized view taken on line I 6-6 of Figure 2, illustrating the hinged toilet accessories rack in upwardly swung position, and

the relative positions of the curved rest and of The side walls I2 and I3, and the front wall I6, of the said rack I0, having arched undercuts and thus forming the rear legs ll, and the front legs 32 of the said .rack III, the said rear and front legs, when resting on the bottom of the said case I, are adaptable to straddle the said curved rest 8 in between the said rear legs II, and the handle of the shaving brush in between the said front legs 32, thus retaining the shaving brush 33 on the bottom of the said case I and within the confines of the said rack I0. A bracket type keeper 34 is attached to the side wall of the said rack ID to accommodate linger nail file 35 by inserting the blade of the said flle into the said keeper, :1. similar type keeper 38 is provided on the side wall II of the said rack It, to accommodate scissors" in like manner. 7

Pocket 20 within the said rack III, having a top ledge 2I at one end, and alnotch 22 at the other end of the said pocket, provide means for the accommodation of a tooth brush 23 with the bristle portion of the said tooth brush inserted downward into the said pocket and partly under the said topledge 2|, thus retaining the said tooth brush in horizontal position with the handle thereof extending through the said notch 22 to overlie the nozzles of a number or containers 38 located within the said case I.
